NMCOG to meet on bridge study

LOWELL -- The Northern Middlesex Council of Governments will hold another meeting as part of its Rourke Bridge study Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in the Clark Auditorium at Lowell General Hospital.

The meeting will present the results of the preferred bridge-alignments analysis, which investigated how each alignment alternative for a new bridge would affect vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle mobility.

It also examined the impact on property, resources and the environment each alignment would have, and identified potential obstacles to construction.

NMCOG is seeking the public's feedback on the results of the analysis.

The Rourke Bridge project is analyzing existing and future traffic conditions within the study area and examining the feasibility of replacing the temporary bridge with a permanent structure.

The study is known as the "Rourke Bridge, Wood Street, Westford Street and Drum Hill Road Corridor Study and Feasibility Analysis project."
